NEW YORK - s4story -- Forest Circle, a local-life platform built for New York's Chinese-speaking community, has opened free showcase listings for local businesses and is inviting merchants across the New York metropolitan area to claim their spot.Through the Forest Circle website (forest38.com) and the Forest Circle iOS app, residents browse local services, community activities and neighborhood events in one place. A merchant's showcase listing works like a digital business card: business name, services, phone and WeChat contact, shown to nearby Chinese-speaking customers who are actively looking for local services.

"Many excellent local businesses in New York are simply hard for Chinese-speaking customers to find," said a Forest Circle spokesperson. "We built Forest Circle to close that gap. Early merchants join free, get a full showcase listing, and receive hands-on help from our team to get set up."
